Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Newcomer Ashley Rose Orr sings and dances up a storm in this made-for-TV movie from Disney. Based on Shirley Temple Black's autobiography, Child Star, the movie does an excellent job of depicting her life as a beacon of hope during the depression years. If Orr doesn't look exactly like the pint-sized dynamo (or act as well), she captures her effervescent essence--her sparkle--and is ably supported by Connie Britton and Colin Friels as her naive, if supportive, parents. The story falters when it skips to Temple at 15, three years after Twentieth Century Fox had severed its ties with her. As the movie ends, we see her returning to acting. It isn't made clear that this would only be a temporary return or that she would devote the rest of her life to politics. Until that point, however, this is a compelling portrait of the quintessential child star. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good (ship lollipop)Good movie in so-so condition. Honestly the actress they picked was too annoying for words and the disk was scratched the first time I opened it but once cleaned it worked fine: you just have to clean it EVERY time. However, it was only 10 muffins so would I buy it again? Sure I would. Rating: - Great Shirley Temple Story for kids!We have loved this film so much that we "wore out" our VHS tape and had to order the DVD! My daughter loves watching Shirley Temple grow up and I love watching how it makes my daughter smile. Rating: - Sweet, special film!Child Star - The Shirley Temple Story is a wonderful biography of America's favorite kid actress. Although not perfect, it remains one of my favorite due to the subject matter. Ashley Rose Orr was a bit long in the tooth to play Shirley at some points of the story, but it was generally believable. The period costumes also added a great deal to the authenticity. If you are a Shirley fan, this DVD belongs in your collection, right next to your real Shirley movies. Rating: - Ashley Rose Orr Was Great As ShirleyThe fact of the matter is they searched over 10,000 girls before casting Ashley in the lead role as the young Shirley, this had to be a very tough role to cast, think about it, how many girls between the ages of 6 and 11 could do it, first of all the girl had to at least look similar to Shirley, next she had to be able to do hard dance steps (especially tap) then she had to be able to sing, and last of all she had to have the IQ to be able to act the part of Shirley and have similar speech and mannerisms, ...

The story is supposed to be based on Shirley Temple Black's autobiography "Child Star" and I only saw a handful of items that were actually taken from the book, the rest of it was just fluff. Plus they didn't go past Shirley's early teens when the book covers up until after she marries her second husband. They seemed to only want to focus ... Read More |
